One part of how a plant grows with seeds is the process of germination. After a seed is planted in soil, it absorbs water and begins to sprout. The embryo within the seed then grows roots, a stem, and leaves, allowing the plant to develop and grow.
The start of growth and development for a flower begins with the germination of a seed. The seed absorbs water, swells, and eventually sprouts a root that anchors it into the soil. From there, the stem emerges, followed by leaves and the formation of flower buds which eventually bloom into flowers.
The seed absorbs water through the micropyle and expands.
germination begins when seed tissues absorb water.
When water, warmth, and oxygen become available a seed begins to germinate.
For germination to occur a seed has to absorb water
In germination the first step is the seed absorbs in all the water and starts to grow roots,leaves,the stem and flowers.
cotyledons
the seed cycle begins with POLLINATION
# Water enters the seed through a hole in the seed coat called the micropyle.# Water moves into the tissues and cells by imbibition and osmosis .# The seed swells and the seed coat bursts.# Water activates gibberelline, the hormone needed for breaking the dormancy of the seed.# Gibberelline activates amylase which hydrolyses starch to maltose, and maltose is then hydrolyzed by maltase into glucose.# Glucose is mobilized (transported) to the embryo .# The embryo absorbs glucose and uses it for respiration (oxygen is needed in this process).# Cell division, growth and elongation occur in the embryo . The radicle starts growing downwards into a root and the plumule starts growing upwards into a shoot.# The nutrients needed for growth are all supplied by the food stored in the cotyledons.# As the nutrients in the cotyledons are consumed and exhausted, the first leaves start to appear and the plant starts to photosynthesize and make its own food.# When photosynthesis starts, the seedling absorbs water and minerals from the soil, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and sunlight.
